FILE: autoc.c

USAGE: autoc

PURPOSE: Client side of RPC distributed application

FUNCTIONS: main() - binds to server and calls remote procedure

COMMENTS: This distributed application (time stamp) is implemented
using an auto handle. The client side of the application
does not care which server provides the time stamp; it
merely wants to get the time from any available server.
